the engineering and the math is different. But I'd be shocked if the alloys are different. Most of Toyota's v8's are even all aluminum now. Only the IS F and the LFA mention anything other than aluminum.

There is a reason people can push 30 or 40 more horsepower through the car easily, and only really experience problems at over double the stock horsepower.

There is also a reason the 2JZ can push out all sorts of insane power levels.
